The world has been hearing a lot of the Sudanese wife and mother Meriam Ibrahim who married an American Sudanese man and became a Christian. The development in the news have been a roller coaster.

Because she became a Christian, the Sudanese government arrested her and found her guilty for her faith in Christ. She was sentenced to be executed but since she was pregnant it was scheduled for a time after she gave birth. Then there was the fake news that she was released followed by silence. It turned out to be inaccurate. It was then on the news that she was freed. According to the BBC yesterday when Meriam and her family tried to escape to another country at the capital’s airport, her whole family was detained.

Let us pray for her and her family and also for the Persecuted Church in Sudan.

I think we should go beyond praying and action as well. We need to get the pressure on the Sudanese Government to let them go, and also get others involved as well.

1.) Contacting the Sudanese Government

It is important to remember that Sudan is different than Southern Sudan (don’t make the confusion of finding contact for South Sudan, a separate government and country at this time).

I think in the great of the world wide web to contact the Sudanese Government globally multiple times even outside of the contact of the Sudanese Government in your country. Let them know how you feel very strongly about it.

It is not the word ‘Crusade’ that is being removed–that word is simply being shortened. The offensive word that is being completely removed is……the name of Christ. That’s right.

I think “Crusade” is more offensive than Christ…and they remove Christ! Weird. Now their new name is “Cru” and people are now going to ask, “What? What’s that?” AND then people will have to say “Cru stands for Crusade” This inevitably will lead people to focus even more on their offensive name Crusade, but now there no Christ to explain anything in their name…whoever is the guy that had this idea ought to be fired.

It’s sad but I can’t say I didn’t see it not coming. Having served in Campus Crusade as a student leadership, I have rather been distraught with where the staff member wants to take the direction of the club.

In our day of age of the media, fa fair trial is not always easy. The media says it, therefore it must be true is the attitude today but this can be dangerous in a time where our media has been caught in down right fraudulent lies.

In light of this, our attitude should be one of being critical. The above link is a link that asks for caution before jumping to the conclusion about the teacher who allegedly burned a painful cross on his student, and also provides the greater context of what happened.
